Heritage Dance Foundation

Charles Zwerling

In 1998, The Heritage Dance Foundation, a 501 ( c )3 non profit corporation created by Charles S. Zwerling, MD, bought DanceWeek from Dick Mason in order to continue his fine work and report the news of ballroom dancing in the United States. DanceWeek became overnight the flagship for the Heritage Dance Foundation whose mission is: to promote the international sport of partnership dancing through encouraging opportunities for dance education, cultivating excellence within the sport and elevating overall standards for a superior competitive environment.

Over the past years the Heritage Dance Foundation has developed and maintained many worthwhile projects, including:

The Junior Dance Foundation assisting youth in ballroom,

The United States Dance Congress annual event and seminar which the HDF transferred to the NDCA
